The release date of World of Warcraft Shadowlands is known. We will tell you when it starts and what you need to know.
The next expansion of World of Warcraft is clearly on track and will be able to meet the scheduled release date of 2020. At gamescom 2020, the developers revealed when the official release will take place – this fall.
When will World of Warcraft Shadowlands be released? The official release date of World of Warcraft Shadowlands is October 27, 2020. The launch will take place worldwide, allowing everyone to venture into the new realms of the Shadowlands and choose a covenant.
So it’s high time to submit your vacation request to fully dive in during the first days after release.
If you want to get a glimpse of Shadowlands before then, you should hurry up and register for the beta.
When does the pre-patch come? The pre-patch 9.0 brings, as usual in WoW, a lot of changes to the classes and gameplay mechanics. It traditionally goes live a few weeks prior and gives all players some time to get used to the changes.
Additionally, the pre-patch also brings the pre-event, which is meant to introduce the story of Shadowlands.
What should you do before the release? There is still plenty of time to complete a lot of tasks before the release of Shadowlands. You can prepare as many characters as possible to have a wide selection in Shadowlands. However, there are also things that will no longer be possible in Shadowlands – such as certain achievements or the purchase of a special mount. We have presented these things here.
Are you excited about the release of Shadowlands? Or would you have preferred to spend a bit more time with the current expansion?
